D Fm
And now the end is near
Am Bm
And so I face the final curtain
Em
My friend, I'll say it clear
A D
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
D D7
I've lived a life that's full
G Gm
I've travelled each and every highway
D A
And more, much more than this
G D
I did it my way
D Fm
Regrets, I've had a few
Am B
But then again, too few to mention
Em
I did what I had to do
A D
And saw it through without exemption
D D7
I planned each charted course
G Gm
Each careful step along the byway
D A
And more, much more than this
G D
I did it my way
D D7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
G
When I bit off more than I could chew
Em A
But through it all when there was doubt
Fm Bm
I ate it up and spit it out
Em A
I faced it all, and I stood tall
G D
And did it my way
D Fm
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
Am Bm
I've had my fill, my share of loosing
Em
And now as tears subside
A D
I find it all so amu____sing
D D7
To think I did all that
G Gm
And may I say, not in a shy way
D A
Oh, no, oh, no not me
G D
I did it my way
A D D7
For what is a man, what has he got
G
If not himself, then he has naught
G Em A
To say the things, he truly feels
Fm Bm
And not the words of one who kneels
Em A
The record shows, I took the blows
G D
And did it my way
